He slept for five days and five nights without moving at all. It was not until the early morning of the sixth day that he slowly woke up.
"So comfortable."
When he got up from the bed, Mystic Tiger was still sleeping soundly on his stomach. His snoring was so loud that the entire building seemed to be shaking, and his saliva was dripping all over the ground.
He stepped over this fellow, started a fire, boiled water, and took a bath. In one go, he changed into a long robe.
His stomach made a rumbling sound, and he slowly turned to the inn. Only then did the sleepy Old White open the door.
"Little Su, are you awake?"
Lao Bai rubbed his eyes and yawned non-stop as he continued to tidy up the tables and chairs.
"I'll have to talk to the shopkeeper. I have to hire another handyman. Otherwise, I won't be able to handle it.”
"I only have two hands," he complained."I have to wipe the table, pour tea, and serve the dishes.”
"With Sister Xiangyu's stinginess, I reckon it's unlikely.”
Su Xuan went to the kitchen and started the fire. He boiled water in the pot and prepared to cook some noodles to fill his stomach.
"Big mouth, quickly chop the firewood outside.”
he shouted.
"Coming, coming."
Li Dazui hurriedly came out of the room, put on his clothes, and began to chop wood with his axe.
Su Xuan fetched some water, cut the vegetables, and raised the wok. He cut the meat and stir-fried the minced meat. After the water boiled, he added the noodles.
"Old Bai, quickly wake Sister Xiangyu and Xiaobei up. We'll have beef noodles for breakfast.”
"Shopkeeper, get up."
"Xiaobei, get up and eat."
Lao Bai's loud voice rang in the inn. A moment later, the sound of rapid footsteps came from the second floor. The shopkeeper came downstairs.
"Little Su, are you hungry?"
She went to the kitchen and saw Su Xuan scooping up noodles.
"Manager Tong, quickly cook a bowl of noodles. After eating, I'll go patrol the streets.”
Old Xing also hurriedly walked into the inn with his saber. He stood in the lobby and shouted with his hands on his hips.
"Let's go."
Su Xuan shouted in the kitchen as bowls of delicious beef noodles were served. Yesterday's broth was paired with a large spoonful of minced meat, and the fragrance wafted into his nostrils.
"As expected of Chef Su's beef noodles. It's even more delicious than Big Mouth's.”
Lao Bai ate his noodles, not forgetting to step on one and hold another. He mocked his big mouth, but it was rare that his big mouth did not retort.
However, when they saw Su Xuan walking out of the kitchen with a large bowl of beef noodles, they were shocked.
"Wow, Brother Su, do you really eat that much?”
Faced with Xiaobei's suspicious gaze, even though Su Xuan was thick-skinned, he could not help but blush.
"I was hungry from sleeping, so I ate a lot."
he explained
He sat down at the long table, picked up his chopsticks, and started to eat the noodles in big mouthfuls. From time to time, he would pick up a piece of beef.
There were also pickles and radish fungus on the table. They were crispy and refreshing, and they were all gone in a short while.
Old Xing finished the food first, wiped his mouth, and said,""Put it on the tab." He ran off to patrol the streets.
After Big Mouth finished eating, he carried the basket and prepared to go to the market to buy vegetables. Before he left, the shopkeeper instructed,"Big Mouth, buy more meat. It's best if it's beef, mutton, and intestines.”
These were all Su Xuan's favorite dishes. Even after finishing a large bowl of beef noodles and soup, he was only 30% full. He went to cook another bowl before he was almost done.
In the morning, there were not many people in the inn. They would only be served at noon. Hence, after eating, Su Xuan took the account book and moved a bamboo chair to the corner of the street outside the inn. As he basked in the sun, he checked the accounts.
"The weather today is really good."
Lao Bai also brought out a chair and a bowl of melon seeds. He sat down on the chair, squinted his eyes, and chewed on the melon seeds to bask in the sun.
"Shopkeeper, quickly make two cups of tea.”
He even started ordering Tong Xiangyu around.
"Bai Zhantang, you sure know how to enjoy yourself.”
The shopkeeper was furious, but he still brewed some tea and took it out.
The sun slowly rose from the east, and the sun shone brightly. The ancient town was full of vitality, and the number of people on the streets gradually increased.
"Hey, isn't this Manager Su? When did you come back?"
The surrounding neighbors greeted him.
"I just came back a few days ago."
Su Xuan replied with a smile.
He quickly calculated the accounts for the past few months and handed the account book to Tong Xiangyu. Then, he lay down on his side, crossed his legs, and grabbed a handful of melon seeds from Old White's bowl.
Not far away, the door of the Su residence opened. A majestic black tiger slowly came out of the residence and did not forget to close the door.
The surrounding people were already used to this scene. The entire Qixia Town knew that Su Xuan's family had a tiger that could understand human language and never hurt anyone.
There were even many people who took the initiative to go up and greet him.
"Mystic Tiger, why are you free to come out today?”
"Do you want to come to my house to play? I'll give you meat to eat.”
Mystic Tiger rolled his eyes and shook his head impatiently. He walked straight to the inn and lay at Su Xuan's feet. His belly was facing the sky as he basked in the sun.
Two people and a tiger were so casual. No one pointed at them or watched them. At most, there were a few children who wanted to play with Mystic Tiger.
As a result, Mo Xiaobei, who had been rushed out of the inn, glared at him angrily and immediately ran away.
Mo Xiaobei was now the leader of the children in Qixia Town. She often brought Mystic Tiger out to play, which made the other children envious.
"Mystic Tiger, we'll go to Cui Wei Mountain to pick fruits later.”
At the corner of the street, Mo Xiaobei squatted down and tickled the Mystic Tiger. They were having a great time.
"The White Horse Academy's entrance exam is in a month.”
"I don't need to tell you. You should know how your sister-in-law will deal with you."”
"I'm going to pick fruits to make fruit wine for you.”
" It's the ripening season for the fruits in the mountains now," Mo Xiaobei said." If we're late, the birds will peck at us too late."”
"Big Brother Bai, if you help me cover up, I'll give you two more jars of good wine after I brew it. How about it?”
She rolled her eyes and whispered.
"Three bottles."
Lao Bai raised three fingers.
"Alright."
She gritted her teeth and agreed.
"Deal."
Lao Bai chuckled.
When it was almost noon, many carriages and vendors entered the town. Su Xuan and Lao Bai also put away their stools and went to the backyard to prepare the vegetables.
The business at noon today was as usual. It was extremely busy and he could not even drink a sip of water.
After they were done with their work, they rested for four hours or so before they attracted a crowd of guests in the evening. Su Xuan was in charge of the kitchen, doing odd jobs and serving the dishes. Lao Bai and Tong Xiangyu were in the main hall greeting the guests. As for Xiaobei, she had already ridden the Mystic Tiger to Cui Wei Mountain to play.
After sending all the guests away, the sky had completely darkened. The few of them were busy with their own things.
The shopkeeper was waiting for Mo Xiaobei at the door. From the looks of it, he was going to give her a good beating.
However, instead of Xiaobei, Old Xing came in a hurry.
"Something bad has happened."
Old Xing sat down and said without even drinking water,""According to reliable sources, the male and female demons are about to arrive at Qixia Town.”
The shopkeeper and Lao Bai's expressions changed at the same time. Their speed was completely comparable to the changing expressions of the performers on the bridge.
"It's over. The male and female demons have come to Qixia Town. Xiaobei hasn't returned yet.”
Tong Xiangyu's rich imagination had successfully made him feel uneasy.
"What male and female twin demons?"
Su Xuan walked out of the kitchen with a plate of pickled fish and asked casually. However, he immediately came to his senses and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Recently, a pair of ruthless people have appeared in the martial arts world.”
"He's extremely vicious when he does things, and he specializes in bullying kind people," explained Lao Bai.”
"The locksmith of the White Stone Bridge, the peddler of the Bali Village, the hunter of the Blackwind Ridge, the woodcutter of the Duke of Wei Village. As long as you are a good person, you won't have a good ending if you encounter them.”
"Little Su, you didn't come back a few days ago. You don't know that this male and female duo are simply inhuman.”
Once Tong Xiangyu started talking, she started talking non-stop,"The Zhao Family's girl from the Zuo Family is so ugly. She finally got married and was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. However, the male and female demons descended from the sky and beat the groom up. They even said that they wanted to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens.”
"There's also Miracle Doctor Xue from the Eighteen Mile Shop. He doesn't charge anyone for his treatment. He's such a good person. That day, he pulled out a cupping cup for a little beggar. He had just lit the fire when he was beaten up by a pair of male and female demons that descended from the sky.”
Lao Bai added.
"In short, the evil deeds of the male and female devils are endless. They are extremely fierce and specialize in picking good people to kill.”
Su Xuan's forehead was filled with black lines.
At this moment, there was a slight movement outside. Lao Bai and the others jumped up and hid behind him like birds frightened by the twang of a bow.
"Male and female twin demons."
The shopkeeper's face turned pale.
"Don't come in."
Big Mouth shouted at the door," None of us are good people. Each one is worse than the last. If you want to make a move, go find someone else. Don't come to us."”
"Pfft."
Su Xuan almost spat out the tea in his mouth.
"Xiaobei, hurry up and come out."
he said calmly.
Mo Xiaobei tiptoed out from behind the door. Her face and hands were covered in mud and dust. Her entire body was dark and she was carrying a huge bag.
"I'm exhausted."
She placed the bag on the ground and placed her hands on her hips."I picked all these from the mountains.”
Mystic Tiger stood behind Mo Xiaobei with a resentful look in his eyes. He was covered in bags of various sizes. Other than all kinds of ripe wild fruits, there were also many mushrooms and bamboo shoots.
"Quickly go and wash your body. You've turned into a mud monkey.”
Tong Xiangyu scolded softly but did not get angry. Old White and Big Mouth brought all the fruits to the kitchen.
"Well, Little Su, why don't you lend me the Mystic Tiger for two days?”
Old Xing rubbed his hands." The two demons have come to Qixia Town. I'm a little busy."”
"No."
Before Su Xuan could speak, Tong Xiangyu and Lao Bai shook their heads like rattles and blocked Mystic Tiger.
"Old Xing, don't even think about having any ideas about Mystic Tiger.”
"We were counting on it to boost our courage in the inn."”
"Manager Tong, how can you be like this?”
" I'm a constable," Old Xing said bitterly." I'm responsible for the safety of a town, but you're so selfish. You're really embarrassing me."”
"Shameless, right?"
The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and stepped on the stool. He shouted,"Old Bai, the account book."
"Look, it's a male and female duo."
Old Xing suddenly shouted. Tong Xiangyu was so frightened that she immediately pounced on Old White. Taking this opportunity, Old Xing immediately ran away.
A moment later, the inn was silent. Everyone looked at each other. No one spoke. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Aren't they just two little thieves?"
Su Xuan smiled." Old Bai, to think that you're so experienced. You're so scared. Is your Sunflower Acupoint Pressing Hand used for massages?”
"Massage?"
Lao Bai's eyes suddenly lit up.”
"Why didn't I think of this idea before?”
"I'll open a massage parlor in two days and use Sunflower Acupuncture Hand to earn money.”
The more Lao Bai thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible. He was completely immersed in the fantasy of a beautiful future, so much so that he threw the matter of the male and female demons to the back of his mind.
After dinner, at the strong request of the innkeeper, Old Bai, Big Mouth, and Little Bei, he left Mystic Tiger in the inn to look after the house.
He returned to the Su Residence alone, leaped into the air, crossed more than ten feet, and landed on the martial arts stage. He reached out and waved his hand, and the fine steel sword on the shelf fell into his hand. The sword slashed horizontally, tearing the moonlight apart.
The sword vibrated and let out a soft hum. His footsteps were accompanied by the wind. The sword rose without a trace, sometimes like a flood dragon coming out of the sea, sometimes like a tiger coming down the mountain, sharp and sharp at times, graceful and restrained like a woman covering her face.
He moved about, and the iron sword in his hand was like an arm controlling something. He used it to perfection. The moonlight was endless, and the waves in the pool rippled. Bamboo leaves flew in the air and drifted in the wind.
After practicing a set of sword techniques, they sheathed their swords and cultivated their fists, palms, fingers, and claws before going up to the small building.
The cold wind blew, and Lonemoon hung high in the sky. The curtain in front of the railing swayed. A cup of green wine entered his stomach, turning into a warm current that spread.
Looking at the inn, he could vaguely see two sneaky figures sitting on the roof of the inn.
His hearing was excellent, so he heard the conversation between the two people clearly.
"Qing `er, you stay here. I'll go down and scout the way.”
"Miss, be careful."
"Don't worry."
After saying that, he leaped and landed silently on the street outside the inn. Immediately after, there was a knock on the door.
Su Xuan didn't continue listening. He returned to his room and sat cross-legged on his bed. He began to sort out the accumulation of the past few months.
Old Huang's sword was nine thousand miles long, and he had stolen a large number of martial arts techniques from Old Monster Wang, who was ranked second in the world. There were also the four grandmasters, Liang Jiao, who was ranked second in saber techniques in the Zhou Dynasty, and Xin Jianqing, the prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty, who was one of the three religions.
It was a collection of many martial arts techniques. It was extremely complex and included both internal and external martial arts techniques. It included fists, palms, fingers, claws, knives, spears, swords, halberds, and other eighteen weapons.
With so many martial arts, it was difficult to digest them in a short period of time. He wanted to completely transform them into martial arts foundation.
It would definitely require a lot of hard work.
Therefore, he needed to meditate and cultivate for a period of time. Firstly, he needed to complete the transformation of his martial arts.
The second was to deduce the mantra for the ninth stage of the Wedding Dress Divine Art, the third was to strengthen the Ninefold Golden Bell Shield, and the fourth was to create the third move of the Tyrant Sword Art.
Sword One pursued extreme sharpness, slashing and killing everything.
Sword Two pursued the perfect fusion of Qi Power and Will, exerting every bit of power to the extreme, turning hard and fierce into soft and gentle, entering the realm of both hard and soft.
What did Sword Three pursue?
He closed his eyes and circulated the mental cultivation method of the Eightfold Wedding Dress Divine Art, mobilizing his Genuine Qi to make a large circulation.
He pondered this question in his mind.
What should Sword Three pursue?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he could not figure it out and find a suitable path.
It was very difficult to find the most suitable path among the countless paths.
He thought hard for the entire night and didn't have any thoughts. When dawn came, he woke up slowly.
Sword3 had no clue. The Wedding Dress Divine Art could only be strengthened after reaching the eighth level of perfection. Of course, it was not impossible to strengthen it now, but the success rate was very, very low. It was terrifyingly low.
Therefore, he set his sights on strengthening the Ninefold Golden Bell Shield and increasing his martial arts foundation.
He cultivated both internally and externally, focusing on the Tao of the sword, with the rest as support. This was his current martial arts foundation. He had to cultivate both internal and external techniques.
He took out a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and copied down the martial arts manuals according to the memories in his mind.
Other than the martial arts he cultivated, he had registered all the other martial arts. This way, it would be convenient for him to read when he was free.
He worked until noon before he finished copying all the martial arts and placed them neatly on the shelf.
Only then did she get up, stretch her waist, and walk towards the inn.
